The rape and murder of a trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata has put the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal on the back foot. The Trinamool has always received strong support of women voters thanks to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's aura and her welfare schemes. But now women also seem upset about her government’s failure to protect a young doctor at a hospital.
A barrage of misinformation spread through social media did not help, either. But the Trinamool has now started countering the rumours and setting things right. At the forefront of that mission is Rajya Sabha member Sagarika Ghose. “What happened was social media took off in a certain direction, guided by the BJP IT cell and by certain vested interests, which kept on putting out various fake theories,” she says. “We cannot expect media sensationalism to determine the narrative of a law and order investigation into a criminal investigation.”
